Table 1: Summary of the components within the XMM-Newton EPIC Background; temporal, spatial and spectral properties.
Table 2: The coordinate systems of the 1 $^\prime$ background detector maps and the 4 $^\prime$ $^\prime$ detector maps used in the analysis.
Table 3: Summary of the final cleaned and filtered observations used in the production of the EPIC background files. Given is the revolution number, the J2000.0 equinox RA and Dec, and the Galactic hydrogen column (in units of atoms cm^-2) towards these coordinates. Also given is a code giving the instrumental mode and filter for M1, M2 and PN [f - full-frame mode, e - full-frame-extended mode , t - thin filter, m - medium filter], plus the nominal exposure time, and the fraction of the pn exposure time remaining after removal of high-background periods.
Table 4: Summary of the cleaned and filtered observations used in the production of the EPIC background files, separated into the different combinations of instrument, instrument mode and filter used. The exposure time is the sum of the individual LIVETIMEs i.e. corrected for periods of high-background and deadtime. The post-flare-removal exposure-weighted mean value of the hydrogen column is also tabulated.
Table 5: Mean count rates for the photon background maps (over the central 16 $^\prime$ $\times$ 16 $^\prime$ ), for the different instrument, mode and filter combinations, and for each of the six (five plus total) standard energy bands.
Table 6: Mean count rates for the particle background maps for the different instrument, mode and filter combinations, and for each of the six (five plus total) standard energy bands.
